Do not believe he played at any level this weekend.

Unfortunate, but a product of his standing as probably our 23rd player at this point.
Think at this point the selectors have decided that his form has warranted the idea that he's now a ready to go in for an out of form player or an injury. He's proven he can do it so far so he can sit comfortably now and await a likely second match.

Here's an idea. How about we get someone capable of winning it in the middle instead of an additional HBFer who is probably less talented, and will be under pressure in any case because the midfield allow easy entries.

Just sayin'.

Pretty average man management to not give him a game. Are we trying to get him out of form.

If we don't think there will be a late change just have McMahon as emg and let the kid play footy.

Would you happy with McMahon in as a late replacement if one our midfielders woke up crook/sore. I wouldn't.

Obviously not, no. My point is kids need continuity in their footy. Especially when they have confidence. Having him as emg doesn't make sense if we know everyone is going to play as selected.

I'm hoping he can be our equivalent to ports Ollie wines. Hoping Scott does not drop him now. I will be annoyed. He needs to stay in the guts even when swallow is back. Send zeibell permantly forward and get rid of Waite.

Led the game in contested possessions and had 10 tackles. Unheard of for a 19yo.
Must. Play. Rest. Of. Season.
Yep very impressive game by Dumont, has a red hot go and makes smart decisions.
Agree a lock for the rest of the year, will be a star with more games
